Reduced transition strengths expressed with B(E2) values are good signatures to describe collective excitations of atomic nuclei and are indispensable to understand nuclear shell structures. Along the N=Z line in the pf shell they provide stringent tests of recent shell model interactions, e.g. [1]. So far, B(E2, 21+→ 01+) values for the self-conjugate 2244Ti, 2448Cr, 2652Fe isotopes are known only with considerable errors. Recoil Distance Doppler Shift (RDDS) experiments were performed employing the Cologne coincidence plunger device to measure lifetimes with high precision in order to deduce model-independent B(E2) values for the 21+ → 01+ transition. Excited states in the nuclei of interest were populated with fusion-evaporation reactions. γ rays were detected by an array of 12 HPGe detectors, positioned at favourable forward and backward angles with respect to the beam axis. First results on 44Ti, 48Cr and 52Fe will be presented.
